Raghu Angadi commented on HADOOP-2344:
--------------------------------------
Good fix. There is one more possibility of deadlock (might be theoritical):
If processResult() throws an IOException, then we don't drain OutputStream and
wait for error reader to reach EOF.
> Free up the buffers (input and error) while executing a shell command before
> waiting for it to finish.
